Note: "General Freight" is a catch-all; the actual cargo mix and its risk may differ.

Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.

Mileage Unreliable

MCS-150 annual mileage appears too low for fleet size given observed activity. The per-100k-mile rate benchmarks on this page are excluded; the FRED grade does not use mileage (crash exposure is power-unit-years, violation exposure is inspection counts).

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 20–49 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 1.3 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 3.29× and violations 1.54× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +17%.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The grade already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are not in it.

  • FMCSA suspension notice pending
    FMCSA served a notice on Oct 16, 2026: the operating authority will be suspended on Nov 15, 2026 unless the missing filing is restored. The notice does not say which filing. Not in the grade.
    Ask: which filing lapsed and whether it has been refiled.
  • Drivers put out of service
    3 out-of-service violations against drivers: 3 hours of service (Dec 2025 – Jun 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Falsified logs
    2 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
  • Unreliable reported mileage
    The motor carrier's self-reported annual mileage (MCS-150) looks implausible, so exposure- and mileage-based figures may be distorted.
  • Estimated mileage
    No usable mileage was reported, so exposure was estimated from similar motor carriers. Mileage-based metrics here are approximate.
